People have been making web crawlers for the past 30 years. Why do you need to torch an acre of forest to do the same?

    I'm sure people have been making crawlers for 30 years... But I haven't been, so I've been able to access "knowledge" and shape it for my use case. I think equating ~5 queries to torching an acre of forest is a bit hyperbolic which doesn't help anyone.
